Why don’t you…?

by Carly Jacobs
Why don’t you… * Drink something different? Vodka and dry ginger ale? Merlot? Whisky on the rocks? Have a fabulous signature drink unlike anyone else? * Buy you and your best lady matching jewels? Go to the markets and buy two matching wooden bangles? Two woven leather bracelets? Two jade rings? Take this quaint playground tradition and put an adult spin on it? * Give things away? Those gorgeous sandal Read the rest!

It’s so bad it’s delicious. * Mineral water. Always. * Going for runs on my lunch break… it means I can come straight home after school instead of going to the gym. * My students.

Daily Style – Chucked a sicky

by Carly Jacobs
I was feeling under the weather today so I chucked a sicky from school. I’ve been going mad not being able to exercise because I can’t breathe through my nose so I went to a Body Balance class. It was perfect. Then I did some designing for my exhibition at the end of the year. I made the mistake of visiting the mega mall up the road that consists of three giant stores – Bunnings, Storage World an Read the rest!

Are you man enough to be friends with extraordinary people?

by Carly Jacobs
Roomy Smaggle had a bad weekend. She has a friend, lets call her Tina who invited Roomy out to be her wing woman*. The object of Tina’s affection accidently fell for Roomy and told Tina so. Ouch. Poor Tina. Or so we thought… A few evenings later Roomy and Tina went out for a debrief in which Tina literally tore Roomy to shreds. Obviously she couldn’t attack her for stealing the affections of her Read the rest!

Daily Style – Date Night

by Carly Jacobs
I’m so ridiculously happy it’s the weekend! My week was great but tiring. I’m teaching a kid who has a phobia of people using computers (I’m serious…) so he belts the shit out of anyone using a computer in the classroom and my teacher assistants and I have spent all day training him not to do this. Meaning I got pinned to the floor (by said child who is very strong, very male and very Read the rest!

15 Things you Didn’t Know About the Sex and the City movie.

by Carly Jacobs
Photo I’m a bad SATC fan. Until three days ago I hadn’t seen the movie since the DVD release. SJP forgive me for I have sinned. I have to say it was spectacular. With no offence to any of the brilliant actors in the movie it has to be said that… erm… they really belong on the smaller screen. I had a touch too much time on my hands on the weekend so I actually watched the directors commentar Read the rest!

Daily Style – Perfect Melbourne Weekend

by Carly Jacobs
I had the most perfect Melbourne weekend starting with a trip to the gallery to have lunch with Roomy Smaggle which resulted in much giggling and sexy note swapping with the cafe staff. I also saw the Ron Mueck exhibition. Everyone needs to see this, it’s exceptional. Following that I had an impromptu date with Mr Smaggle’s bestie drinking tea and chatting then had drinks and dinner on Brunswick Street Read the rest!
